'I was with Kate for a long time so I think there will always be feelings there. She has an amazing body.'

Later speaking to the Daily Star Sunday, Dan admitted he was surprised Kate was dating the football pundit, dishing: 'I didn't think he would be her type at all.

'I know I've made mistakes in the past but I feel disappointed. I want her to be happy but this just seems a bit weird.'
